Google launching Pixel 3 on October 9

San Francisco: Google has reportedly sent out invites to launch its flagship Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL in New York on October 9.

Earlier in June, information including the pictures and specifications of the “Pixel 3” line-up were leaked and revealed that hinted at a missing port for headphone jack.

Both devices are expected to come with design tweaks, including a somewhat controversial large notch on the “Pixel 3 XL”, a glass back for wireless charging on both devices, dual front-facing cameras and a single rear camera, the report added.

Google introduced the Pixel series in 2016 and the rumoured upcoming smartphones would mark the third generation of the line.
